Maybe there IS such a thing as a geographical cure. At the least, readers will experience the blessings that flow from a skillfully told tale of a man and three women traveling in exotic settings. Dean Whitbread’s writing delights with sentences like this: “On the road from Dahab to Sharm el Sheik, in the dark, with the cold wind causing me to draw up my hood and wrap it around my neck, I realised that I had found the simple centre of my disquiet.” One Way Journey reminds me of Eliot’s lines from Little Gidding — “We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.”
A beautiful and honest journey of self-discovery. Dean bares his soul and his pain – physical, emotional, and spiritual – with an open sense of confession that culminates not only in self-acceptance but in a grander experience of Universal divine love that might best be described as samhadi.
One Way Journey is an uplifting story the author’s self discovery
during a journey to Egypt.
The prose is direct and unfussy, devoid of the usual complexity for
the sake of complexity. This allows the reader to experience the
author’s deeply personal and moving experience with a rare immediacy.
The central characters are portrayed warts and are all the better for that. No, glitz or artifice is permitted to get in the way of the the character’s true personality, their thoughts and fears.
One Way Journey delivers an engaging and compelling story, leaving the reader wanting more. A must read for anyone interested in the human condition.
